About Titon

We are a company who make and sell products that you see and use every day. More than that, the core of our business is dedicated to providing ventilation in your home. Although this seems like a straightforward thing to do, it's not always as simple as opening a window. We all need to keep our houses energy efficient, so companies like us try to find ways to let buildings and householders breathe without wasting all the money we spend in keeping a home warm. The way we live means that activities indoors create excess moisture, chemicals and other harmful pollutants. Titon are in the forefront of designing, manufacturing and selling products to solve these problems to housebuilders, directly to window companies and work to influence architects, consultants, local authorities and councils to specify our products in their building or refurbishment projects.

You'll use other products we develop and sell to open and close windows and doors, items like handles, hinges and locks. Our mechanical ventilation systems are hidden away in a house, constantly changing the air when required. So we have a wide scope of expertise, and our ranges are growing constantly not only due to customer demand but also changes in legislation, design and fashion.

Titon is an equal opportunity employer. You are welcome at Titon for who you are. Our workplace is for everyone and the more voices we have represented and amplified in our business, the more we will all thrive, contribute, and be forward-thinking! So bring us your personal experience, your perspectives, and your background.
